Meet Todd Corbin, CPC
Imagine what you or your athletes could do with an unshakeable core of calm, confidence, and focus.
Mistakenly labeled learning disabled, Todd Corbin grew up with very low self-esteem causing many social and emotional scars to overcome. The negative mindset developed at an early age sabotaged his college athletics pursuits and caused him to experience intense performance anxiety in higher stakes competitions whether playing golf, baseball, tennis, taking the SAT or all manner of other activities.
Now a professional speaker, best-selling author, certified coach, mindfulness teacher, and avid runner, Todd shares his wisdom for staying present and grounded, enhancing performance, increasing resilience and emotional/mental mastery, and reducing stress and anxiety. Todd works with many D1 and D3 college sports teams including Kent State, Cleveland State, Case Western, Oberlin, Yale U and many other student-athletes and sports coaches from around the US and world.
